Chapter 90 - Fake and Real (2)

Rachel returned to the sixth floor, other members of Team Black following suit. They asked what was going on as they chased after her, but Rachel only ran.

"...What."

When they arrived on the sixth floor, they saw three cadets lying on the ground. They were all from the white team, and their hands and feet were tied together, leaving them wriggling like caterpillars.

"Um, what's this?"

The members of Team Black were befuddled by this bizarre scene. Rachel's head also drew a blank, but she soon realized what happened. She thought that even Kim Hajin wouldn't be able to handle six cadets at once, but it seemed she was wrong.

"Um, Rachel-ssi?"

"Ah, it looks like the situation is already taken care of."

Rachel replied somewhat in awe.

At that moment, a spearman walked in from the other side of the lobby.

"Ah, it's Shin Jonghak! Jonghak~!"

Yi Kyungrak, one of Shin Jonghak's lackies, ran up to him. Looking at him, Shin Jonghak made a leisurely smile.

Although he lost to Kim Suho, he avoided taking critical damage. After escaping to the sixth floor's residential area, he was catching his breath.

"Nice to see you."

Shin Jonghak spoke to his team members, then was surprised when he saw Rachel.

Rachel gave a slight bow in greeting, and Shin Jonghak greeted back with a light nod.

"Jonghak, do you know what happened here?"

Yi Kyungrak asked as he pointed at the tied up cadets on the ground. Shin Jonghak replied in a perfectly calm manner.

"I do. I eliminated two of them."

Immediately, Rachel furrowed her brows.

Although what Shin Jonghak said was the truth, Rachel thought he was trying to steal Kim Hajin's achievement.

What really happened was that Shin Jonghak saw Yoo Yeonha and Chae Nayun fighting with some nimble guy, and used the opportunity to eliminate two cadets by ambushing them.

"Kuhum. Then from now... I'll take command."

Shin Jonghak spoke as he glanced at Rachel. Rachel looked at the other members of the black team. They looked more comfortable with Shin Jonghak being their leader.

However, Rachel didn't want to be with someone who would steal someone else's achievements. Not to mention, she was the one with the artifact.

"Then I'll take my leave here."

"Ah, you should come with us."

Yi Kyungrak tried to dissuade her, looking visibly wistful, but Rachel was resolute. She walked to the east emergency staircase, and Shin Jonghak watched her leave for a while before leading the black team to the central staircase.

From then, the Mock Artifact Scramble resumed at a quick pace.

Shin Jonghak gathered all surviving members of the black team and managed to steal two artifacts. Rachel also made great achievements through guerilla tactics.

On the other hand, the white team protected many of their artifacts despite being chased around by Rachel. Kim Suho displayed outstanding leadership and might, safely transporting five artifacts to designated locations.

Thanks to Kim Suho and Chae Nayun's performance, Team White came out victorious in the scramble. However, Rachel and Shin Jonghak also managed to get satisfactory individual grades.
